When you think of wildlife holidays in the UK, Scotland is probably the first destination(目的地) that comes to mind, with quite a few breathtaking natural sites that offer a wonderful base to watch wildlife.
The Trossachs National Park
It was the first national park established in Scotland. The Loch Lomond at the center of the park is the largest body of freshwater in the UK. The largest land mammal (哺乳动物) in Britain, red deer can be found in the park. Keep an eye out as you pass through forests, woodlands and open hills.
The Isle of Staffa
The Isle of Staffa is famous for its dramatic rock formations, and for the cave known as “Fingal’s Cave”, Staffa provided inspiration to Felix Mendelssohn, the German musician. He visited in 1829 and, afterwards, composed his Hebrides Overture. The island is also famous for its adorable seabirds—puffins, which are known for their vibrant beaks (鸟喙) and big personalities.
The Cairngorms National Park
The Cairngorms National Park is in northeast Scotland. With an area of 1,748 square miles, the park covers the Cairngorms range of mountains and surrounding hills, and is the largest national park in the UK as the second national park in Scotland. Over 25% of the UK’s endangered species make their home in the park’s ancient pine forests, among which you can find the red squirrel—the UK’s only native squirrel (松鼠) species.

Singapore is known as a world’s most highly developed country, with well-equipped apartments. But for one man, that couldn’t be further from the place he called home—a shelter in one of the country’s forests.
On meeting Oh Go Seng the first thing that strikes you is the bright light in his eyes. He wears his 79 years very lightly looking in far better shape than many people half his age.
Mr. Oh grew up together with his family in Sungei Tengah—a local kampong—or village. In the 1980s however, these kampongs were knocked down, to make way for new high-rise buildings. Most kampong residents(居民) were offered new homes by the government, but Mr. Oh was unable to get a place of his own. His brother however, did get a government flat and Mr. Oh was invited to live there—but he eventually moved out as he said he did not want to impose on the family. So, he headed back to a forest close to where his old home once stood and started to spend nights in a shelter.
Upon approaching the shelter, you see ashes in the doorway from the open fire that Mr. Oh would cook on. The garden near his tent is where he would grow his own food. The towering jackfruit tree over his tent he says, provided enough shade, and he never felt uncomfortable.
Loneliness was never a problem either, he says. He kept himself busy tending his garden, although that, he adds, was made easy by the good growing conditions. The worst aspect of living in the forest, he says, was the mice. They would find their way into his shelter and bite holes in his clothes.
In February this year—on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Mr. Oh was given a new home to live in. He now works as a driver, transporting foreign workers from one job to another, and sometimes does gardening work, he says.
4. What do we know about Mr. Oh from the first two paragraphs
A. He lives in a very good apartment.
B. He loves his well-equipped shelter.
C. He looks young for his age.
D. He is very fond of light clothes.
5. Why were those kampongs removed in the 1980s
A. A new road would be built.
B. They were in bad condition.
C. The residents wanted new homes.
D. They had to make room for new buildings.
6. What do the underlined words “impose on” mean in paragraph 3
A. Hurt. B. Trouble. C. Work with. D. Argue with.
7. What is Mr. Oh’s attitude towards living in the shelter
A. Positive. B. Worried. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned.
C
The world’s insects are going down the path of extinction，threatening a“catastrophic collapse of nature’s ecosystems”，according to the first global scientific review．More than 40％of insect species are declining and third are endangered，the analysis found．The rate of extinction is eight times faster than that of mammals，birds and reptiles．
“It should be of huge concern to all of us，for insects are at the heart of every food web．They pollinate(授粉)the large majority of plant species，keep the soil healthy，recycle nutrients，control pests，and much more．Love them or 1oathe them，we humans cannot survive without insects，”said Prof Dave Goulson at the University of Sussex in the UK．
The analysis，published in the journal Biological Conservation，says intensive(集约型)agriculture is the main driver of the declines，particularly the heavy use of pesticides．Urbanisation and climate change are also significant factors．
“If insect species losses cannot be stopped，this will have catastrophic consequences for both the planet’s ecosystems and for the survival of mankind．It is very rapid．In 10 years you will have a quarter less，in 50 years only half left and in 100 years you will have none，”said review author Francisco Sánchez-Bayo，at the University of Sydney，Australia．
One of the biggest impacts of insect loss is on many birds，reptiles，amphibians and fish that eat insects．“If this food source is taken away，all these animals starve to death，”he said．Such effects have already been seen in Puerto Rico，where a recent study revealed a 98％fall in ground insects over 35 years．
Matt Shardlow，at the conservation charity Buglife，said：“It is thoughtful to see this evidence that shows the pitiful state of the world’s insect populations．It is increasingly obvious that the planet’s ecology is breaking and there is a need for a strong and global effort to prevent and change these terrible trends．”
8. Why are people worried about the insect decline
A. They are vital to ecosystems． B. They provide food for pests．
C. They pollinate all plants． D. They enrich the soil．
9. What is the main cause of insect losses
A. More and more trees． B. Restrictions on pesticides．
C. Upgrading agriculture． D. Friendly environment．
10. Where can you find the exact time of insect losses
A. In paragraph 1． B. In paragraph 2．
C. In paragraph 3． D. In paragraph 4．
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Humans can survive the punishment of nature
B. Insect declining is breaking nature’s ecosystems
C. Nature’s ecosystems are influenced by humans
D. Insects and animals are dying out in Puerto Rico
D
Studies have shown most people fail to realize how much time they spend on their smart-phones each day.
Frank and Amelia's family were put to a test, using a free app called "Moment-screen Time Tracker". The Vascellaros—Frank, Amelia, 14-year-old twins Frankie and Joe, and 17-year-old Sam—all said they did not really know they were spending so much time on their phones each day.
“Honestly, I don't feel like I'm on my phone a lot," Amelia Vascellaro said. Amelia was on her phone far less often than Frank, according to the app. While Amelia spent about an hour per day on the phone, Frank spent close to four hours on his phone—which came as a shock to him. The children's times varied but they often spent more than a couple of hours on the phone as well.
Minneapolis-based Dr Kirsten Lind Seal sees phone usage come up a lot among families. Lind Seal said many family members' phone use has become problematic.
“If we hear more than once, 'Do you have to be on your phone right now Can you please put your phone down Did you hear what I said ' it may be a sign that it is negatively influencing our family relationships and our daily lives," she said.
Lind Seal said actually paying attention to how much time one spends on the phone is a good first step in deciding when to put it down.
She asks parents to encourage more face-to-face communication for teens and young adults as they continue developing their social and emotional skills. “What we find is that we are really losing out on empathy—the ability to understand other people's feelings and problems——when we spend a lot of time on our smart-phones to communicate with other people she said.
12. How did the families tested by the app feel about the test results
A. Satisfied. B. Doubtful.
C. Uninterested. D. Astonished.
13. Why did Lind Seal mention the three questions in Para 5
A. To encourage people to live a simple life.
B. To explain the signs of problematic phone use.
C. To show the importance of close relationships.
D. To ask people if they use phones too much.
14. What did Lind Seal want to convey in the last paragraph
A. We should make more face-to-face communication.
B. We can understand each other better using smartphones.
C Our ability of empathy is strengthened by smartphones.
D. Smartphone usage improves the teens' emotional skills.
15. Where is this text most likely from
A. A diary. B. A guidebook.
C. A novel. D. A magazine.

Six decade years ago, a 13-year-old boy saw a beautiful hairpin (发夹) in a shop window which set his heart racing. But the price-five dollars was too high for Jack. Five dollars would buy almost a week’s food for his family.
Jack couldn’t ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother Dora. Slim and beautiful, she was the center of the home, the glue that held it together. The housework was never-ending, and she struggled to feed and clothe their five children but she was happy as her family and their well-being were all she cared about.
Nevertheless, he opened the shop’s door and went inside. Standing proud and straight in his shabby shirt and washed-out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, “But I don’t have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time ”
“I’ll try,” the shopkeeper smiled. “People around here don’t usually have that kind of money to spend on such things. It should be kept for a while.”
Jack respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out. He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought Mum would get surprised when she saw that hairpin. On hearing the sound of hammering from a side street, Jack suddenly had an idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags. People built their own homes in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in bags from a local factory. Sometimes the used bags were thrown away at the construction site, and Jack knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece.
That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a rusty soda tin.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Every day after school, Jack started his plan.

Finally, the time came!

(当你想到英国的野生动物假期时，苏格兰可能是你首先想到的目的地，这里有许多令人惊叹的自然景点，为你提供了观看野生动物的绝佳基地)”并结合下文介绍的三个景点推知，本文的主要目的是介绍一些在苏格兰看野生动物的地方。故选C。
B
Singapore is known as a world’s most highly developed country, with well-equipped apartments. But for one man, that couldn’t be further from the place he called home—a shelter in one of the country’s forests.
On meeting Oh Go Seng the first thing that strikes you is the bright light in his eyes. He wears his 79 years very lightly, looking in far better shape than many people half his age.
Mr. Oh grew up together with his family in Sungei Tengah—a local kampong—or village. In the 1980s however, these kampongs were knocked down, to make way for new high-rise buildings. Most kampong residents(居民) were offered new homes by the government, but Mr. Oh was unable to get a place of his own. His brother however, did get a government flat and Mr. Oh was invited to live there—but he eventually moved out as he said he did not want to impose on the family. So, he headed back to a forest close to where his old home once stood and started to spend nights in a shelter.
Upon approaching the shelter, you see ashes in the doorway from the open fire that Mr. Oh would cook on. The garden near his tent is where he would grow his own food. The towering jackfruit tree over his tent he says, provided enough shade, and he never felt uncomfortable.
Loneliness was never a problem either, he says. He kept himself busy tending his garden, although that, he adds, was made easy by the good growing conditions. The worst aspect of living in the forest, he says, was the mice. They would find their way into his shelter and bite holes in his clothes.
In February this year—on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Mr. Oh was given a new home to live in. He now works as a driver, transporting foreign workers from one job to another, and sometimes does gardening work, he says.
4. What do we know about Mr. Oh from the first two paragraphs
A. He lives in a very good apartment.
B. He loves his well-equipped shelter.
C. He looks young for his age.
D. He is very fond of light clothes.
5. Why were those kampongs removed in the 1980s
A. A new road would be built.
B. They were in bad condition.
C. The residents wanted new homes.
D. They had to make room for new buildings.
6. What do the underlined words “impose on” mean in paragraph 3
A. Hurt. B. Trouble. C. Work with. D. Argue with.
7. What is Mr. Oh’s attitude towards living in the shelter
A. Positive. B. Worried. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Oh Go Seng在kampong被拆后选择回到老家，生活在森林里的庇护所，并过得怡然自得的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“He wears his 79 years very lightly, looking in far better shape than many people half his age.(他的79岁似乎过得很轻松，看上去比许多年龄只有他一半的人健康得多)”可知，79岁的Oh Go Seng 看起来比实际年龄小。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“In the 1980s however, these kampongs were knocked down, to make way for new high-rise buildings.(然而，在20世纪80年代，为了给新的高层建筑让路，这些kampong被拆除)”可知，拆除kampong是为了给新的高层建筑留出空间。故选D。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“So, he headed back to a forest close to where his old home once stood and started to spend nights in a shelter.(于是，他回到了他老家附近的一片森林，开始在庇护所过夜)”可知，Oh Go Seng回到老家在庇护所过夜，由此可知，他不愿意给兄弟一家带来麻烦。故impose on的意思是“造成麻烦”，与trouble同义。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段的“The towering jackfruit tree over his tent he says, provided enough shade, and he never felt uncomfortable.(他说，帐篷上方高耸的菠萝蜜树提供了足够的树荫，他从未感到不舒服)”和倒数第二段的“Loneliness was never a problem either, he says. He kept himself busy tending his garden, although that, he adds, was made easy by the good growing conditions.(他说，孤独从来都不是问题。他一直忙于照料花园，尽管良好的生长条件使这变得容易，他补充说)”推知，Oh Go Seng对居住在庇护所感到满意，即是积极的态度。故选A。
C
The world’s insects are going down the path of extinction，threatening a“catastrophic collapse of nature’s ecosystems”，according to the first global scientific review．More than 40％of insect species are declining and third are endangered，the analysis found．The rate of extinction is eight times faster than that of mammals，birds and reptiles．
“It should be of huge concern to all of us，for insects are at the heart of every food web．They pollinate(授粉)the large majority of plant species，keep the soil healthy，recycle nutrients，control pests，and much more．Love them or 1oathe them，we humans cannot survive without insects，”said Prof Dave Goulson at the University of Sussex in the UK．
The analysis，published in the journal Biological Conservation，says intensive(集约型)agriculture is the main driver of the declines，particularly the heavy use of pesticides．Urbanisation and climate change are also significant factors．
“If insect species losses cannot be stopped，this will have catastrophic consequences for both the planet’s ecosystems and for the survival of mankind．It is very rapid．In 10 years you will have a quarter less，in 50 years only half left and in 100 years you will have none，”said review author Francisco Sánchez-Bayo，at the University of Sydney，Australia．
One of the biggest impacts of insect loss is on many birds，reptiles，amphibians and fish that eat insects．“If this food source is taken away，all these animals starve to death，”he said．Such effects have already been seen in Puerto Rico，where a recent study revealed a 98％fall in ground insects over 35 years．
Matt Shardlow，at the conservation charity Buglife，said：“It is thoughtful to see this evidence that shows the pitiful state of the world’s insect populations．It is increasingly obvious that the planet’s ecology is breaking and there is a need for a strong and global effort to prevent and change these terrible trends．”
8. Why are people worried about the insect decline
A. They are vital to ecosystems． B. They provide food for pests．
C. They pollinate all plants． D. They enrich the soil．
9. What is the main cause of insect losses
A. More and more trees． B. Restrictions on pesticides．
C. Upgrading agriculture． D. Friendly environment．
10 Where can you find the exact time of insect losses
A. In paragraph 1． B. In paragraph 2．
C. In paragraph 3． D. In paragraph 4．
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A Humans can survive the punishment of nature
B. Insect declining is breaking nature’s ecosystems
C. Nature’s ecosystems are influenced by humans
D. Insects and animals are dying out in Puerto Rico
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是，昆虫数量的减少正在破坏自然生态系统。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第一句The world’s insects are going down the path of extinction，threatening a“catastrophic collapse of nature’s ecosystems”，可知，人们之所以担心昆虫数量的减少，是因为他们对生态系统至关重要。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中The analysis，published in the journal Biological Conservation，says intensive(集约型)agriculture is the main driver of the declines，particularly the heavy use of pesticides．“发表在《生物保护》杂志上的分析说集约农业是昆虫下降的主要驱动力，尤其是大量使用农药。”故选C。
10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中In 10 years you will have a quarter less，in 50 years only half left and in 100 years you will have none，可知在第四段中可以找到昆虫损失的确切时间。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“It is thoughtful to see this evidence that shows the pitiful state of the world’s insect populations．It is increasingly obvious that the planet’s ecology is breaking and there is a need for a strong and global effort to prevent and change these terrible trends．”““看到这些显示世界昆虫种群的可怜状态的证据是发人深思的。越来越明显的是，地球的生态正受到破坏,为了预防和改变这些可怕的趋势，需要一个强大和全球的努力”。”由此推知，本文最佳主题是B项 Insect declining is breaking nature’s ecosystems（昆虫数量的减少正在破坏自然生态系统）。
D
Studies have shown most people fail to realize how much time they spend on their smart-phones each day.
Frank and Amelia's family were put to a test, using a free app called "Moment-screen Time Tracker". The Vascellaros—Frank, Amelia, 14-year-old twins Frankie and Joe, and 17-year-old Sam—all said they did not really know they were spending so much time on their phones each day.
“Honestly, I don't feel like I'm on my phone a lot," Amelia Vascellaro said. Amelia was on her phone far less often than Frank, according to the app. While Amelia spent about an hour per day on the phone, Frank spent close to four hours on his phone—which came as a shock to him. The children's times varied but they often spent more than a couple of hours on the phone as well.
Minneapolis-based Dr Kirsten Lind Seal sees phone usage come up a lot among families. Lind Seal said many family members' phone use has become problematic.
“If we hear more than once, 'Do you have to be on your phone right now Can you please put your phone down Did you hear what I said ' it may be a sign that it is negatively influencing our family relationships and our daily lives," she said.
Lind Seal said actually paying attention to how much time one spends on the phone is a good first step in deciding when to put it down.
She asks parents to encourage more face-to-face communication for teens and young adults as they continue developing their social and emotional skills. “What we find is that we are really losing out on empathy—the ability to understand other people's feelings and problems——when we spend a lot of time on our smart-phones to communicate with other people she said.
12. How did the families tested by the app feel about the test results
A. Satisfied. B. Doubtful.
C. Uninterested. D. Astonished.
13. Why did Lind Seal mention the three questions in Para 5
A. To encourage people to live a simple life.
B. To explain the signs of problematic phone use.
C. To show the importance of close relationships.
D. To ask people if they use phones too much.
14. What did Lind Seal want to convey in the last paragraph
A. We should make more face-to-face communication.
B. We can understand each other better using smartphones.
C. Our ability of empathy is strengthened by smartphones.
D. Smartphone usage improves the teens' emotional skills.
15. Where is this text most likely from
A. A diary. B. A guidebook.
C. A novel. D. A magazine.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】

根据前文“Make the most of money. Buy ingredients(原料) that can be used in many meals.(充分利用金钱。购买可以在很多餐中使用的食材。)”可知，此处强调的购买食材过程中省钱。E选项“This will keep your taste satisfied and your wallet happy.(这会让你的品味得到满足，让你的钱包快乐。)”中的this指代的就是前文的“购买可以在很多餐中使用的食材”的事实。故选E。
【20题详解】

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Six decade years ago, a 13-year-old boy saw a beautiful hairpin (发夹) in a shop window which set his heart racing. But the price-five dollars was too high for Jack. Five dollars would buy almost a week’s food for his family.
Jack couldn’t ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Dora. Slim and beautiful, she was the center of the home, the glue that held it together. The housework was never-ending, and she struggled to feed and clothe their five children but she was happy as her family and their well-being were all she cared about.
Nevertheless, he opened the shop’s door and went inside. Standing proud and straight in his shabby shirt and washed-out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, “But I don’t have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time ”
“I’ll try,” the shopkeeper smiled. “People around here don’t usually have that kind of money to spend on such things. It should be kept for a while.”
Jack respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out. He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought Mum would get surprised when she saw that hairpin. On hearing the sound of hammering from a side street, Jack suddenly had an idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags. People built their own homes in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in bags from a local factory. Sometimes the used bags were thrown away at the construction site, and Jack knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece.
That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a rusty soda tin.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Every day after school, Jack started his plan. Cold and hungry, Jack wandered the streets, searching for the nail bags carefully. To save more money, he even decided to deliver papers in the early morning. Exhausted and tired as he felt, he still stuck to the plan. It was the hairpin in the shop window that reminded him that what he did was worthwhile. After a long time of hard work, he made it eventually.
Finally the time came! He took out the soda tin, poured the coins out and began to count them. Five dollars! His hard work paid off! Holding the soda tin firmly, Jack rushed for the shop to buy the hairpin. The moment he got the beautiful hairpin, he rushed home and placed it in Dora’s hand. Never had Dora received such a gift. Speechless and happy, she held her son tightly into her arms, with tears welling up in her eyes. It was an unforgettable experience, which all the family members will remember.
